Hi all,

The powerpc allyesconfig build still fails today.

Changes since 20110823:

New tree: kvmtool

The security tree lost its build failure.

The ptrace tree gained a build failure (yeaterday) for which I have
reveretd a commit.

The tty tree gained a build failure so I used the version from
next-20110823.

The staging tree gained a conflict against the fbdev tree and a build
failure for which I reverted a commit.

The moduleh tree gained a conflict against the staging tree.

Quickly testing a new configuration blows up on the following:

console [ttyS0] enabled
Fast TSC calibration failed

.config attached. I'll try to bisect it.

ok, this is a regression in 3.1, continuing bisection...
